Alfred Returns From The Dead To Help Batman (Wait What)

Warning! Spoilers ahead for Batman #97

It’s no secret that Alfred Pennyworth served as the backbone of the Batman’s entire crusade as the Dark Knight. He was Bruce Wayne’s rock and support system through countless dark times and emotional pitfalls, not just for Batman, but for the entire Bat-Family in general. None of them have truly been the same since his death during last year’s City of Bane event, least of all Bruce. In present day Gotham City, It’s no surprise that when Joker has the Dark Knight injected with a new blend of his toxin, it’s Alfred that Batman sees in his head. However, even when he manages to rid himself of the toxin, Alfred is still there for Batman.

Thus far during the Joker War assault of Gotham, Joker is totally winning for all intents and purposes. Firstly, he’s stolen all of Bruce Wayne’s money and assets, including the weapons and vehicles he would normally use in his fight against Gotham’s criminal element. Secondly, he’s sent his men and all their new toys to spread as much chaos and mayhem as possible, with all of them led by his new second in command, Punchline. Thirdly, he’s bought the Monarch Theater, where Bruce watched a film with his parents on the night of their deaths, along with every other theater in the city. His plan is to invite every citizen of Gotham to the theaters, promising them all incredibly large sums of money to get them to attend. He will then give every person their own personal night of trauma, just like Bruce had, with his own new blend of Joker Toxin. Batman has already been injected with it, and is thankfully saved by Harley Quinn, the Joker’s ex-girlfriend.

Taken to one of Poison Ivy’s secret gardens, Harley gives Batman a special tea, meant to flush out the toxin from his system. However, she does mention after he already drinks it that he’s going to go on a bit of a drug trip. It’s then that Alfred returns to face Batman from beyond the grave.

Apparently, Batman will potentially be able find the closure he’s obviously been missing since Alfred’s death in the coming issues. As previously mentioned, this isn’t the first time that Batman has seen Alfred after his passing, as the Joker toxin provided Batman with a much darker and more horrific version of Alfred than the one he’s seeing now. Hopefully, this one will give Batman hope and spark him with a renewed motivation to take down Joker and his forces.

A systemic change and shift for Batman and his mission has been teased lately by Batman series writer James Tynion IV, so perhaps this vision of Alfred will be the key element that helps get him there. In any case, fans of the Batman mythos should be excited to see the return of Alfred Pennyworth, even if it will most likely be brief and the result of Batman’s own drug trip.
